THANKSGIVING in Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 24.-Mr. L. B.
Connery. charge d'affaire of the Ameri-
can legation, gave a brilliant Thanks
giving day banquet at the legation
this evening. There were pres
ent about fifty persons, including
the members of the Mexican cabinet,
Gen. McCook. Z. S. A.. railway mana
gers. editors of leading Mexican papers,
American press correspondents and a
delegation of Kansas City merchants.
Mr.. COnnery, in the course of
his remarks, referred to the
good fortune of the two republics in
their presidents, and in Offering toast
to them eulogiZed the sterling qualities
of Presidents Cleveland and DiaZ, and
paid graceful tribute to the beauty and
popularity of their wives, whom he char
acterized as the ''UncrOwned queens of
our hemisphere" Minister Marisca
responded to this toast, in
the course of which he said
that Presidents Diaz and Cleveland
were the right men in the right place,
and suggested that they should be kept
there. Regarding their wives, he had
no doubt that if two women were to be
voted for as presidents wives Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Diaz would be
elected by immense majOritieS.

The French Crisis,

The crisis in France has reached
elimination involving the resignation
of the president of the republic. The
lower house of the chamber of deputies,
as it is called, corresponding to our
house of representatives and the Brit
iSh house of commons, is certain to be
the scene of great debates during the
week, fraught with results of the high
est Importance.
First. however, as to the constitution
and character of the chamber. 1t con-
sists of deputies elected by electoral
districts, each department being one
district. Deputies are chosen i'll the
ratio of one for each 10000 inhabitants,
the entire district voting on each candi
date, after the manner of our old repre-
Sentative-atl large. The department of
the Seine-anOther name for PariS-haS
thirty-eight members. The whole of
France counts SIS; six for Algeria
and ten for the colonies, making in all
5S4. There are in the house of COM
mons go members; i'll the American
house of representatives 325, OH the
basis of one for every $4,000 inhabi-
tants. Population of France, 3S.000,-
600; of Great Britain and Ireland 3S,-
600. 900; of the United States. 60,000,
600.
The electors of France exceed in num-
Der 10000, 600. and more than IS per cent
OF them are interested enough in their
political destiny to vote. The Qualifica-
tiOns are twenty-one years of age and
citizenship. which is obtained by two
years residence in any one town or
canton. A deputy must be citizen and
twenty-five years of age. The senate is
composed of 800 members, of whom
seventy-fye are for life; but vacancies
in this category are filled by
election for nine years. The cleo
ton of the senators is indirect,
but is practically controlled by the depu-
ties acting with delegates chosen by
communeS and municipalities. Thus
Paris comes to have thirty senators. No
qualifications are required except to
have reached forty years of age and to
be Frenchman. Representatives are
elected for four years. Both houses act
conjOintly in legislation, but financial
laws must originate in the lower house.
The president of the republic is
chosen by the two houses
in joint session. His term is seven
years, and he may be reelected. In adj
dition to the executive functions of our
president he has also the right to init
ate legislation, concurrently with the
two houses. He is head of the army
and the civil service; with the assent of
the senate he may dissolve the house of
deputies before the legal expiration of
its term, but new elections must be held
within three months. The ministers
are responsible to the chambers; the
president is Independent of them eX-
cept for high treason. He cannot de-
clare war, however, without the assent
in advance of the two houses.

A TROUBLESOME QUESTION.

Washington dispatches inform us that
the treasury surplus is the one absorb
ing topic in Washington now, and is the
prominent subject of discussion among
congressman who are rapidly arriving
in the city to take up their winter
Quarters. 1t is gratifying to know that
our lawmakers have at last awakened
to consciousness that the people are
in earnest in their demand for a reduc-
ton of the taxes. They have long ago
grown tired of piling up a great sur
plus in the treasury for no other reason
than TO protect the interests of few
mOnopolies. The Americans are the
most patient and lOng-Suffering people
In the world. They can stand more
imposition than any other people on
earth. But when they once reach the
limit of forbearance and become aroused
to point of resistance they are the most
terribly in earnest of any other nation.
They have reached the point now that
they will submit no longer to the gross
iniqUity of our existing tariff system.
they have waited patiently in the hope
that congress would grant the relief
they had right to expect until patience
has been exhausted. Now they serve a
formal notice on congress that unless
some tariff reform measure is passed at
this session the PEG pie themselves will
undertake to dispose of the
whole business in the next ma
tiOnal election. This is good
time for the people to move in the mat
ter Next year is presidential cleo
ton. The party that fails to go before
the country with clean record in favor
of tax restriction will stand a poor
chance at the polls. The very, fact that
this subject is engaging the attention of
congressman at this time to the eXclus-
ion of everything else is evidence that
the political leaders have been feeling
the public pulse and understand how it
beats.
With the possible exception of Mr..
RANDALL and a handful of followers,
who will not be strong enough this SeS-
sion to be of much consequence, the
Democrats in the House of Representa-
tives will present a solid front in favor
of tariff revision, and a reduction of the
taxes 1nc hepuDiICdiI hldJoIIty III TIC
senate will be the stumbling block in the
way of accomplishing tariff reform.
The Republicans know well enough
the importance of making some
sort of a record in favor of tariff
revision. and the leaders will attempt
to make a show in that direction. But
it will be such bungling attempt as to
bring ridecule upon their efforts. No
man can do anything successfully UNI
less his heart is in the work. And it is
a well understood fact that the Republi-
can heart is not in the cause of tariff re-
form. Every profession that the leaders
make of being favorable to tariff revision
Is known TO be the baSest hypocrisy.

IT PAYS MIR. GEORGE.

HENRY GEORGE has been telling the
people of the West how to avoid pow
erty and, inferentially, how to get
rich. But the reliance to be placed
upon any doctrine is largely dependent
upon the man who breaches it. In
this respect the anti-pOverty apostle,
when weighed in the balance, is found
wanting.
In his going about to abolish poverty
he has failed. except in one instance.
In abOlishing his own poverty he has
been cOnSpicuOusly successful. For, be
it understood, it pays Mr.. GEORGE eX-
tremely well to pose as the champion of
the poor at so much ticket. His ad-
herents find his philosophy a very pleas
ant one indeed, for it involves. if carried
to successful conclusion, the posses
sion of everything that they now have
not, and that, too, without labor and
without price.
In effect Mr.. GEORGE is an anarchist
since he denOunceS the private owner
ship of land which all law recognizes.
And for all the evils which are related
to the poverty he is attempting to diSsi-
Ddlt MI. NEOlSbE tstH SuSSCSC IlO
remedy beyond the abolition of land
ownership. 1t pays him better, you
know, TO proclaim novel and attract
i've theory than to labor without hire
in a practical way for the benefit Of
those about whose unfortunate cOndi-
tons in life he processes to be so much
concerned.
As dreaming theorist with talent for
turning his dreams into ready cash, Mr..
GEORGE is success; as an etfectual
champion of the oppressed he is dis
tinctly a failure. And he is not likely
to secure much sympathy here in the
Northwest. People in this energetic
land have a method of their own for
abolishing poverty. 1t differs from the
Georgian method in being eminently
successful. Its ingredients are hard
work, industry, economy and faithful
ness. Distasteful enough, no doubt,
would they be to the followers of
HENRY GEORGE, but as a means to the
desired end they are sufficient to knock
the land apostles theories into cooked
hat

A QUIET DAY.
Thanksgiving Celebrated Decently
and With Order.

and With Order.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-As far as re-
ported there were no unusual features
connected with the observance of
Thanksgiving day throughout the
Eastern states. Business every
where was practically suspended;
the home-gathering to Thanks
giving dinner was general, and there
was great rush of cOllegianS and others
to participate in or witness the numer-
Gus foot ball and other athletic exhibit,
tons; church services were fairly at
tended, the theaters were crowded and
the charitable did not forget
the poor and those confined in
prisons or elemosynary institutions.
In this city, in addition to the excite
ment attendant upon the foot ball
matches, the day was enlivened by the
marching and counter marching of that
peculiarly local institution, the target
company. About fifty of these were
granted permits to parade. Some of
them appeared as mummers and
in women'S clothes and were ar
rested. The small boy made the
day hideouS with fish horns.
In Washington, the president and Mrs
Cleveland attended union services at
the Fourth Presbyterian church and
subsequently ate their Thanksgiving
turkey at Oak View, having as guests
Cleveland. The observance of
the day after the New Eng
land fashion appears to be
coming into general use in the South,
as indicated by reports to the AssO-
ciated Press

A Welcome Rain.

PrrTsBURG, Pa, Nov. PA steady
rain all day gladdened the hearts of the
coal operators and miners along the
Monongahela river and gave renewed
hopes of a rise in the rivers sufficient
to allow the shipment to the
West of the 100000 or 100000
bushels of coal lying in the
harbor and pools. There have been no
shipments to the lower ports since last
June, and the mines have been closed
OH account of scarcity of craft, all the
boats being loaded, The enforced Idle
ness has caused great suffering among
the 5000 miners in the valley, and large
numbers have gone to other fields in
quest of employment.

take up whole page i'm the old Herald
or Tribune, regardless of cost. in adver-
Using the Weekly Ledger. 1t was seed
SOwn in good ground as the great for
tune he afterwards amaSSed amply tes-

The Ledger was Mr.. BoNNER'S first
owe. Fast horses was his second. He
has now given up the first love to de-
vote his whole time to the second. He
pays enormous prices for the fastest
horses, simply for the qualification of
owning them, and never permits them
to be speeded for money. He would
think it an act of sacrilege to permit any
one of his noted horses to be entered in
a race.
~
GEORGE ALLEY, the jockey who
bought Dexter for 500, once offered to
sell him to Mr.. BONNER for $4,000.
Mr.. BONNER agreed to take the horse
at the price provided he would lower
his record at a private trial on Union
u1Ih ing PAIN. hIhAh hOODhCrrs
who drove the horse, knew that if
BONNER got him Dexter would be taken
from the track, and accordingly man
aged to hold him so that the record
would not be lowered. ALLEY then
shipped the horse to Chicago and sold
him at auction for $4,000. Mr.. BONNER
afterwards bought him and paid $4,000
for him.
Judge PHILLIPS, of Kansas City, says
that the rumOr of his appointment to
succeed Mr.. SPARKS in the Office of
land commissioner is surprise to him.
1t is an equal surprise to the rest of the
country. Although a member of con-
gress for two terms, Judge PHILLIPS
has never been prominent in national
affairs. The fact that Mr.. LAMAR knows
him and has had some opportunity to
judge his qualifications will reconcile
the country at large to the appointment
in the event it should be made. The
mass of the people have no favorite for
the office. They simply want an honest
man and one possessed of legal learn
ing enough to know a good land title
from bad one.

mission Of this sort. 1t was not in New
York alone that the GEORGE element
melted away in the late elections. In
Massachusetts the political labor men

their vote shrunk from $4,000 in April
to 5000 in November, while in St.

The first snow has fallen and with 1t
we offer a suggestion. 1t is that a
heavy roller be run over the streets and
the snow packed down. Whenever a
fresh snow falls let the same rolling
process be kept up. In this way the
streets will be kept in good condition
for sleighing the whole winter and to a
very great extent we will get rid of the

journalistic venture that no one but
himself had confidence in. His wonder
full success was attributable to two
causes; first he advertised his paper, and,
secondly, when he got it into the hands
of the reading public, they found that
he gave them all he advertised. Mr..
